FORUM RULES ABOUT WEB-BASED LINKS TO MUSIC AND VIDEO'S

Based on latest discussions on this forum, and studiing copyright laws, it is necessary to state out new forum mandatory rules, effective immediately, so, here we are.

LINKS TO MUSIC & VIDEOS: what is legal/what is not.
NEW RULES in the forum state:

From now on in our forum users shal NOT POST TOPICS THAT containin the following :
• Requests for or links to MP3s, music videos, or other files of questionable legality
• Bootlegs

So, please do not POST A LINK TO music or videos which does not directly originate from an officially legal site.

An OFFICIALLY LEGAL SITE is: rammstein.com or rammstein.de, universal music, a legitimate music site like MTV or VIVA. The links must be direct and linked only to the approved site. Any links which have copied and transferred the music or videos from an official legal site to ANYWHERE else are NOT OFFICIAL.

• Do not ASK FOR A LINK to music or videos. If there is a legal site for either listening or viewing, xTERNAL will provide the information in the NEWS section of www.RAMMSTEIN-EUROPE.com.

WHAT YOU CAN DO in the forums: You can DISCUSS a new song or a new video.

WHAT YOU CANNOT DO in the forums: provide illegal links or ask for links, give directions of any kind as to where something might be found (examples: file-sharing, other fansites, etc.). Screen caps will be allowed (within reason) AFTER a video has been made available through an OFFICIAL LEGAL LINK. Fan remixes of songs will be allowed (within reason) after the song has been officially released.

The above restrictions are necessary not because we are being “damn babies” or “. The reason is simply that RAMMSTEIN-EUROPE has made the decision to not be a facilitator of illegal activities involving copyrighted material. The reason for that is also clear. Rammstein’s Management has shown aggressive behaviour in combating copyright infringement.

Anyone who violates the spirit of the aforementioned expansion/explanation of what the RULES mean here as applied to music and videos (and this also includes the "making of videos") will meet up with one of the following consequences:

POST BLOCKED, LINK ERASED AND WORSE.... BANNED IF NECESSARY.

If you have ANY questions about what may or may not be acceptable here, you can always PM a Moderator and ask first before posting something that might get you in trouble here.

•any links to www.youtube.com (or other sharing sites of a similar nature)are generally not allowed.
While some videos like fan made items or spoof animations are allowed, we do not allow linking to youtube. Oftentimes there is/are illegal videos of Rammstein performances to the side of the linked videos. Actual Rammstein Videos which are very illegal to be hosted by that site - therefore we cannot allow links to youtube to be allowed.

So, links to youtube are now allowed - ONLY IF it is a fanmade video by you, and does not contain bootleg footage or footage of live performances or released performances. Stills from photos found on the net are OK. A montage is OK. Clips of released footage are NOT OK.

Please try to understand that sometimes while we may allow a certain individuals fanmade videos, and deny another persons it is usually because the content in it could get the forums in trouble.

Also if some individuals post their fanmade video and it turns out to be bootleg footage that they filmed themselves at a concert and consider that "fanmade" - then we will have to reverse the ruling on allowing fanmade videos PERIOD!

Here is an update on what is considered "fanmade".
Fanmade is fanmade. You did it yourself. Like cut and paste. You creatd everything yourself. No footage filmed by someone else no clips. Still images are OK.
For example:
If you go out and find 6 banana slugs in the yard, dress them up in LAB outfits, and put the skinniest one in a paper boat and play the music to SEEMANN on a kazoo. That is fanmade.

If you have a coverband and you do your own video or you have footage of YOUR band's performance. That is fanmade.

If you have images that you sketched of how you think the video for a song should have been and you put it to music - I think we can allow that.

Use your creativity.

IF YOU SEE VIOLATION OF THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, REPORT IT BY USING THE EXCLAMATION MARK IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER OF RELEVANT POST.

Sorry I think I'm getting really off-topic here! But to sum it up, Michigan relied on the auto industry. And then all those jobs went overseas until very recently. Up until a couple years ago we had the worst unemployment rate in the country. And there is an absurd amount of crime in Detroit, Flint, and similar areas. Bad news. Almost all of my friends from high school have moved to different states now.

My husband and I have been discussing this topic thoroughly since we read the news. Since we attended 2 shows for the MiG tour, we'd love to have an official release. But since we didn't get to see them on the LIFAD tour, we'd also love to see that too. I'm all for a 2 disc bluray/DVD release. And if there's a special limited edition box set, we're totally getting it. Had to wait to get the MiG box set and almost didn't get it! Whatever the case, any new live material will be awesome. It's over due as bootlegs generally suck.

I was browsing Wikipedia before and came across this information on Rammstein's wiki page.

The "Liebe Ist Fur Alle Da Tour" DVD, which was filmed at Madison Square garden in New York City on December 11, 2010 titled 'Rammstein: Das Apokalypse" will be released in Europe on October 17, 2012 and worldwide on October 20, 2012. The DVD will contain footage from concerts in The United States, and Canada. It will be available in three editions. A Standard Edition, which contains only
concert footage, a Deluxe Edition which contains concert footage plus a 35 minute documentary titled "Die Liebe, Die Liebe Ist Fur Alle Da" about the making of the same album. A Collectors Edition is to also be released in 2013 which contains all media available in other editions plus a double disc audio CD, a behind the concert scenes disc and a 350 page photo book.

I have no idea if this legit (and prob isn't) as there are no sources, but just thought i would share my find sorry if this has been posted before.

"Which is better, eternal happiness or a ham sandwich? It would appear that eternal happiness is better, but this is really not so! After all, nothing is better than eternal happiness, and a ham sandwich is certainly better than nothing. Therefore a ham sandwich is better than eternal happiness."

^Given that there are no sources and that Wikipedia can be edited by anobody, I would say that its not believable. Furthermore, it is more likely that we get a Bercy show than a MSG show.
